By now, most of you have seen or heard about this "epic beard man" fight on a bus recently. In the video, a Black man in cornrows (in 2010) picks a fight with a 67-year old white man. And [he] loses. Horribly. Pundits and pro-Black voices nationwide pulled their pants down and cried racism at the video's wild popularity. The chance to see a Black man beat down by a white man is just too exciting to miss out on, they claim.

Sure, some ignorant remarks were spotted on youtube comment sections. Racists and jerks alike seek these polarizing clips out and spew their stupidspeak  daily. It's nothing new. The same "insensitivity" can be found in the comment sections of any video featuring people with disabilities or handicaps. What's so special about THIS case?

For me, I just find humor in the fact that the brother gets amped up by the (Black) person with the camera and those near him on the bus ("Beat that nigga's ass!") and takes action. Like a champ, the white man matches his intensity, verbally, and refuses to back down ("I'm 67 years old! You don't scare me!").

I don't know why we (coloreds) tend to be convinced that a person not of color can't and won't beat the collard greed juice out of us. This is a phenomenon I just can't grasp. While I find fights ridiculous and pointless, the fool got what he deserved. Here is the effect of not knowing when to shut up...on your face: blood and shame.





Even after being punched into submission, homeboy maintained, "Immo fuck you up!"

Yes, of course you will.

Sir with the cornrows and swollen face, was the free dental work worth it?

I see nothing racist here. Music journalist/part-time jackass Toure mentioned "nine unanswered punches" while building a case against the older white man. NOPE. The brother charged the front of the bus and struck first. The rest is self defense. Those teeth on the ground? You asked for it, Grown Man with Cornrows in 2010.

Here's another example of US popping off at the mouth and getting the collard green juice beat out of us.



*drops head*

YES, we excel in sports and set musical trends, but we CANNOT win against a flying kick from an angry Asian woman. It just won't happen, Celie.

In conclusion: unless you are prepared for ANY outcome, up to and including getting bopped on top of the head, taking a flying kick to the torso, and being ridiculed by millions on Youtube, keep your mouth shut.

What say YOU?
